Something New to Worry About
Two of the dumbest stories I saw today in the six minutes I've been able to watch TV:
From Oprah (whose word I usually take as gospel): her entire show today was "shoe and handbag makeovers". She and her fashion editor and a couple of stylists had a shoe intervention. I learned that wearing the wrong pair of shoes can make your feet look fat. Great, thanks a lot Oprah. I was just worried about my butt and thighs...now I have to worry about my feet, too!
On a sidenote: is it just me or do these makeover shows always give ladies the most unrealistic new look? I mean, granted, the ladies usually do look better and I'm all for updating one's look, but when the most important thing about your favorite pair of shoes is that they're comfy and don't pinch your bunions, is the stylist really doing you a favor by putting you into 4" leopard-print, peeptoe stilletos?
From the BBC and the amazingly awful Trisha Goddard Show, which is a little like a combo of Jerry Springer and Jenny Jones: Is My Female Parrot a Lesbian? Apparently this woman's parrot hates her husband and constantly attacks him, so she (the wife, not the parrot) wanted to try to determine if her parrot is gay.
For real?
